PREFACE,
10 :-
*' Oh ! that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal
away their brains !" These few words, culled from a work of the
immortal Shakespeare, must speak volumes in favour of those
*' Cooling Drinks " so artistically concocted to tickle the palate of
mankind. The Americans, to whom we are indebted for a great
number of ingenious inventions that have added greatly to the
comfort of the human race, were the first to introduce these whole-
some and invigorating Refreshers. For many yqars they only
flourished in the United States, but have at last become acclima-
tized in every quarter of the globe, and are now the acknowledged
drink at all Bacchanalian revels. Every great city now boasts of
its "Alabama Fog-cutters," its "Connecticut jEye-openers," its
"Thunderbolt Cocktails," its "Lightning Smashers,'' its "Boston
Nose- warmers," its " Magnetic Crushers," its " Galvanic Lip-
pouters," its " Josey Ticklers," and its " Leo Coaxers." It occurred
to the author of this work that it was only right that the public
should be made acquainted with the precise manner in which these
drinks are manipulated, there being a vast difference in both their
flavour and effect if made from a proper recipe. Leo, during
iiis lengthened sojourn in America, collected an unlimited number
of original and other recipes for " Drinks," and has become a great
PREFACE
bciKfactor to the British nation. Parr or Morison may have
contributed by their skill to health, but it has been reserved for
Leo to look after both health and spirits ; and we feel certain that
no one will deny that the social drinks he has popularized in this
country have added to the comfort and enjoyment of all classes of
the community, from His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to
the most humble of Her Gracious Majesty's subjects. It is our
intention to select from his gigantic catalogue of recipes upwards
of two hundred various compounds, each of which has been
extensively patronized by the bon vivants of every country, and to
explain in this little volume the best method of concocting them ;
so that in the future there will be no excuse for any one that
happens to have this book in the library ever again imbibing any
of those "villainous compounds" so often to be met with. Having
made this liberal promise, we shall now take our leave, make our
bow, and, like the Peri in Lalla Rookh, exclaim —
Joy, joy for ever, rny task is done ;
The gate is passed, the haven is won.

PUNCH.
•:o:-
There is a fine old English poet who enlightens us by saying that
" Punch cures the Gout, the Cholic, and the Phthisic«
And it is to all men the very best of Physic.'*
If it really possess the wonderful powers ascribed to it, of wliich
we have no reason to doubt, it becomes us, in the first place, to say
how to make this delicious beverage in perfection. When you'
have carefully selected some lemons or limes, their ambrosial
essence must be extracted by rubbing lumps of sugar on the
rind, which break the delicate little vessels that contain the per-
fume and, at the same time, absorb it. The great secret in
Punch brewing is to make the mixture sweet and strong, using tea
instead of water, and so thoroughly amalgamating all the com-
pounds that the taste of neither the bitter, the sweet, the spirit,
nor the element shall be perceptible one over the other. Should
you wish to make hot Pimch, you put in the spirits before ths
water ; and if cold Punch, then the water or tea first

Egg Nogg is a beverage of American origin, and has gained a
popularity all over the world. In the South it is almost indispens-
able at Christmas time, in the East the wise men imbibe it, in the
West the egotist believes in it, and in the North it is a favourite
at all seasons. In Scotland, Egg Nogg is known by the name of
"Auld Man's milk."
56 EGG NOGG.
Use large tumbler.
One table-spoonful of fine sugar, dissolved with one table-spoonful
of cold water ; one t%% ; one wine glass of Cognac ; half a wine
glass of Santa Cruz rum or Jamaica rum ; a quarter of a tumbler
of shaved ice, fill up with milk, shake the ingredients until they are
thoroughly mixed together, and grate a little nutmeg on the top.
57 HOT EGG NOGG.
This drink is very popular in England, and is made in precisely
the same manner as the cold Egg Nogg above, except that you must
use boiling water instead of ice.
58 EGG NOGG.
f
For a Party of Ten,
Three eggs ; one pint of brandy ; two and a half wine glasses of
Santa Cruz rum ; two quarts of milk ; six ounces of white sugar.
Separate the whites of the eggs from the yolks, beat them separately
with an egg-beater until the yolks are well cut up, and the whites
assume a light fleecy appearance. Mix all the ingredients (except
the whites of the eggs) in a large punch-bowl, then let the whites
float on the top, and ornament with coloured sugars. Cool in a
tub of ice, and serve.

EGG NOGG. 33
59 BALTIMORE EGG NOGG.
For a Party of Fifteen.-
Take the yolks of sixteen eggs, and twelve table-spoonfuls of
powdered loaf sugar, and beat them to the consistency of cream ;
to this add two-thirds of a nutmeg grated, and beat them
together ; then mix in half a pint of brandy or Jamaica rum, and
two wine glasses of Madeira. Have ready the whites of the eggs
whipped to a stiff froth, which then beat into the mixture. When
this is done, stir in six pints of rich milk. There is no heat
used. Egg Nogg made in this manner is digestible, and will not
cause headache. It makes an excellent drink for debilitated
persons and a nourishing diet for consumptives.
60 GENERAL HARRISON'S EGG NOGG.
Use large tumbler.
One egg ; one and a half tea-spoonful of sugar ; two or three

** Quaff the nectar cup^ which gives delightP
JULEPS
■:o:-
The Julep is peculiarly an American beverage, and in the Southern
States is more popular thao in any other. It was first introduced
into England by Captain Marryatt, where it is now quite a favourite.
The gallant Captain appears to have been a great patroniser of
this drink, and published the recipe in his work on America. We
give it in his own words : — " I must descant a little upon the mint
julep, as it is, with the thermometer at ioqO, one of the most
. delightful and insinuating potations that ever was invented, and
may be drunk with equal satisfaction vihen the thermometer is at
70^. There are many varieties, such as those composed of claret,
Madeira, &c., &c., but the ingredients of the real Mint Julep arc
as follow; I learnt how to make them and succeeded pretty well : —
Put into a tumbler about a dozen sprigs of the tender shoots of
mint ; upon them put a spoonful of white sugar and equal pro-
portions of peach and common brandy, so as to fill it up one-third,
or perhaps a little less ; then take rasped or powdered ice and fill
up the tumbler. Epicures rub the lips of the tumbler with a piece
of fresh pine-apple, and the tumbler itself is very often incrusted
outside with stalactites of ice. As the ice melts you drink, 1 once
overheard two ladies talking in the next room to me, and one of
them said : * Well, if I have a weakness for any one thing, it is for
a mint julep/ A very amiable weakness, and proving her good
sense and good taste. They are, in fact, like the American ladies,
irresistablc."

and fill the glass with fine chipped ice ; then draw out the sprigs
of mint and insert them in the ice with the stems downward,
so that the leaves will be above in the shape of a bouquet. Arrange
berries and small pieces of sliced orange on top in a tasteful manner ;
dash with Jamaica rum, and sprinkle white sugar on top. Sip
through a straw, and you have a julep fit for an Emperor.

This charming potation is an American invention, and has become
a great favourite in all warm climates. The Cobbler is now a
popular drink with both patrician and plebeian, and requires but

THE COCKTAIL AND CRUSTA.
•:o:-
The Cocktail is quite a modem invention, and is very frequently
used as the " proper beverage " for fishing and other sporting parties,
although we have heard of some " weary sufferers" who take it in the
morning as a tonic. The Crusta is thought by some to be an
improvement on the Cocktail, and is said to have been invented by
Santina, a celebrated Spanish caterer.

NUTMEG GRATER.
MULLS AND SANGAREES.
•:o:-
90 MULLED WINE.
To make good Mulled Wine, just allow me to say—
Nine eggs you must break, and then do not delay,
But into a bowl let the whites all be dropped,
Whilst all of the yolks in another are popped.
With a switch let the whites be beaten about-
Until like the froth of the sea they come out ;
To the yolks then attend, and beat them also,
And at them three spoonfuls of sugar just throw.
Now into a skillet it*s quite time to pour
Of some recognised brand a bottle or more ;
And if of your head you may have any fear,
Add one pint of water, and mind it is clear.
The water and wine must be kept on the fire
Till they reach the boiling heat you require ;
Then the yolks and the whites please beat as before,
A half pint of water o'er them gently pour.
Mix all well together until they combine,
And then turn them into the skillet of wine ;
Stir about briskly and pour in a pitcher.
Add grated nutmeg, 'twill make it much richer.
Drink it off hot, and PU bet any odds
You'll own it's a drink that is fit for the gods.
44 AMERICAN AND OTHER DRINKS.
91 MULLED WINE.
Atiother,
Dissolve one pound of sugar in two pints of hot water, to which
add two and a half pints of good sherry, let the mixture be set
upon the fire until it almost boils ; meantime beat up the whites of
twelve eggs to a froth, and ^ pour into them the hot mixture^
stirring rajjidly. Add a little nutmeg.
92 MULLED WfNE,- WiTH EGGS.
One quart of wine ; one pint of water ; one table-spoonful of
allspice, and nutmeg to taste. Boil them together a few minutes ;
beat up six eggs, with sugar to taste; pour the boiling wine
<m the eggs, stirring it all the time. Be careful not to pour the
eggs into the wine or they will curdle.
93 MULLED WINE, WITHOUT EGGS.
To every pint of wine allow one small tumbler of water ; sugar
and spice to taste. In making preparations like the above, it is
very difficult to give the exact proportions of ingredients like sugar
and spice, as what quantity niight suit one person would be to
another quite distasteful. Boil the spice in the water until the
flavour is extracted, then add the wine and sugar, and bring the
whole to the boiling point; then serve with strips of dry toast,
or with biscuits. The spices usually used for Mulled Wine
are cloves, grated nutmeg, cinnamon or mace. Any kind of wine
may be mulled, but port or claret are those usually selected for
the purpose, and the latter requires a larger proportion of sugar.
94 MULLED CLARET.
^ The same as No. 91, using claret instead of sherry.

FLIP, NEGUS, AND SHRUB. 5 1
114 ALE FLIP.
Put on the fire, in a saucepan, one quart of ale, and let it boil ;
have ready the whites of two eggs and the yolks of four, well
beaten up separately ; add them by degrees to four table-spoonfuls
of moist sugar and half a nutmeg, grated. When all are well
mixed, pour on the boiling ale by degrees, beating up the mixture
continually, then pour it rapidly backwards and forwards from one
jug to another, keeping one jug raised high above the other, till the
fiip is smooth and finely frothed. This is a good and delightful
remedy for a cold*
115 EGG FLIP.
Put a quart of ale in a saucepan on the fire to boil. In the
meantime, beat up the yolks of four eggs with the whites of two,
adding four table-spoonfuls of brown sugar and a little nutmeg.
Pour on the ale by degrees, beating up so as to prevent the mix-
ture from curdling ; then pour backwards and forwards repeatedly
from vessel to vessel, raising the hand to as great a height as
possible, which process produces the smoothness and frothing
essential to the good quality of fiip. This is excellent for a cold ;
and, from its fleecy appearance, is sometimes designated ^'a yard
of flannel"
116 EGG FLIP.
Another way.
Beat up in a jug four new-laid eggs, omitting two of the whites ;
add half a dozen lumps of sugar, and rub these well in the eggs.

the lemon rind until all the yellow part of the skin is absorbed;
then squeeze the juice and strain it; add the sugar and lemon
juice to the port wine, with the grated nutmeg ; pour on the boiling
water, cover the jug, and when the beverage has cooled a little, it
will be ready for use. Negus may also be made of sherry or any
other sweet wine, but it is more usually made of port. This
beverage derives its name from Colonel Negus, who is said to
have invented it.
119 PORT WINE NEGUS.
(Another,)
Use small tumbler.
One wine glass of port wine ; one tea-spoonful ot sugar. Fill
tumbler one-third full with hot water. Grated nutmeg on top.

port wine, with four lumps of sugar, three cloves, and enough
grated nutmeg to cover a shilling, into a saucepan; warm it
well, but do not allow it to boil. Pour it into a bowl or jug, and,
upon the warm wine, decant a bottle of soda-water. You will have
a delicious and effervescing negus by this means.

juice of the lemons upon this, add two bottles of soda-water, arid
stir well till the sugar is dissolved ; pour in the syrup of oranges
and whip the mixture well with an t%% whisk, in order to whiten the
composition ; then add the brandy, rum and Maraschino. Strain

TEMPERANCE DRINKS.
•:o:-
"To be merry and wise" is a very good motto, and should be ever
in our mind. We know perfectly well that in hot weather ardent
spirits absorb and assimulate all the liquid that is left in the fevered
frame, and it is to be regretted that in England there is no common
usQ of such a harmless mixture as orgeat, or those pleasant, innocent
beverages with which the Italians, in their cool arcades, consume
long hours. When people are very hot they will drink, and the
discussion of the subject may help to make drinks more wholesome.
The simple use of the lemon, with really pure ice, is the one good
which America has given us. We say the use of the lemon instead
of lemonade, because cheap lemonade is often a mixture of impure
water and chemical acid. The best thing of all for preventing the
ills of hot weather is probably to abstain altogether from any iced
drinks ; but, in the opinion of the thirsty, the remedy would be
worse than the disease. — From the Globe newspaper.
161 LEMONADE.
Use large tumbler*
The juice of half a lemon ; one and a half table-spoonfiil of
sugar ; two or three pieces of orange ; one table-spoonful of rasp-
berry or strawberry syrup. Fill the tumbler half full of chipped
ice, the balance with water. Dash with port wine, and ornament
with fruits in season.
TEMPERANCE DRINKS. 63
162 PLAIN LEMONADE.

Cut in very thin slices, three lemons, put them in a basin ; add
half a pound of sugar (either white or brown) ; bruise all together.
Add a gallon of water, and stir well.
163 LEMONADE.
For Parties,
The rind of two lemons ; juice of three large lemons ; half pound
of loaf sugar ; one quart boiling water. Rub some of the sugar in
lumps on two of the lemons, until they have imbibed all the oil
from them, and put it with the remainder of the sugar into a jug;
add the lemon juice, and pour over the whole a quart of boiling
water. When the sugar is dissolved, strain the lemonade through
a piece of muslin, and when cool it will be ready for use. The
lemonade will be much improved by having the white of an ^%%
beaten up in it. A little sherry mixed with it also makes this
beverage much nicer.
164 ORANGEADE.
This agreeable beverage is made the same way as lemonade,
substituting, oranges for lemons.
165 ORGEAT LEMONADE.
Use large tumbler.
Half a wine glass of orgeat syrup ; the juice of half a lemon.
Fill the tumbler one-third full of ice, and then fill up with water.
Shake well, and ornament with berries in season.
166 DRINK FOR THE DOG DAYS.
A bottle of soda-water poured into a large goblet in which a
lemon ice has been placed, forms a deliciously cool and refreshing
drink, but should be taken with some care, and positively avoided
whilst you are very hot.

must be added to the mixture.

down on the inside of the glass ; then drop on the yolk a little com-
mon salt, sufficient not to quite cover half the size of a threepenny-
piece; pepper according to taste. The way to take this should
be by placing the glass with the vinegar furthest from the mouth
and swallow the contents. The vinegar being the last givesi It
iXiore of an oyster-like flavour. -

189 OUR SWIZZLE.
It occurred to the Author of this little work, after a conversation
with an Indian gentleman, to make a cocktail called in India a
Swizzle, Take a small tumbler, half fill it with chipped ice ; then
add one and a half liqueur glasses of Boker^s bitters ; half a wine
glass of brandy ; and two or three drops of Noyeau to flavour and
sweeten it. Now swizzle this concoction, with an Indian cane
swizzle, to a froth ; drink through a strainer. Tastes differ. An
Indian likes a cocktail swizzled ; a North American, within the last
few years, will not take one unless it is stirred with a spoon; a
South American will have it shaken; an Englishman, who has
travelled in America, is more particular than any one of the others
until you find out his taste, and is most difficult to please.

SP£e/yll PORTRAITS EXPEDITIOUSLY EXECUTED.
THOSE PHENOMENAL FARCEURS,
THE GIEAHDS,
The Premier and Original American Grotesque Dancers
and Pantomimists.
Exferpta of Notices by the Atistralian, Anuruan^ and English Press : —
**Let it at once be stated that their performances are far more extra-
ordinary than they could possibly have appeared on paper, and perfectly
unique. — Melbourne Argus, June 6th, 1874-
**As dancers of a novel g)-mnastic school, they have unquestionably no
equals." — Neio York Mercury, April 12th, 1876.
"The Girards may now l)e pronounced without rivals ; one of them does
the Long Table Slide, of which he was the original performer, having first
introduced it to the public in the 'Black Crook' in Niblo's Garden, some
few years ago.*'— AVrc/ York Clipper, May 27th, 1876.
**To use a comprehensive old word, they are Posture Masters ; and never
has more masterly posturing been seen in combination with neater panto-
mime of the grotesque kind, or with such continuance of surprising
agility."— Z>tfi/v Telegraph, August 28th, 1876.
"A more striking, original, and perplexing performance has never been
seen." — Sunday Times, September 3rd, 1876.
**The Girards, a trio of dancers and pantomimic actors,, who, foj humour
and agility, are not to be surpassed by any representatives of a similar class
of entertainment who have appeared before a London audience." — Daily
News, August 30th, 1876.
**The Girards, whose versatile ability, as exemplified in sundry very ex-
traordinary and startling feats, is likely to add another to the list of
'Sensations' of late years introduced in the world of amusement. Their
qualifications are of the most varied character." — The Era, September
3rd, 1876.
"To return to the piece, despite its pretentious title, of course the trifle
is only a vehicle for the introduction of the Girards with their clever enter-
tainment, about the marvellous excellence of which their cannot be tw o
opinions. We would also refer to a certain Grotesque grace that now and
again displays itself in the attitudes of this extraordinary family. Such a
performance is one of the wonders of the age, and should attract all those
who have not had an opportunity of witnessing it. Such of the public as
have already seen the Girards will not need any words of ours to induce
them to repeat the enjoyment upon an early occasion. " — 77u Era,
December 30th, 1877.
